Most readers never realize how much they re-read. It happens in a fraction of a second — your eyes land on a word, drift forward, then snap back to check something they already captured. Researchers call it a regression. It wastes ten to fifteen percent of your reading time without improving comprehension. The fix is simple: a pacer that keeps your eyes moving forward. Something as basic as a highlighted word group, sliding across the page at a steady rhythm, trains the eye to trust its first pass. Within a few sessions, the backward glances fade. You stop losing time. The same page that took five minutes takes three — and you remember just as much.

Paste
Paste any text — an article, a chapter, an email. We pace you through it, word by word.
Read
The pacer highlights words at your speed. Your eyes follow. No going back.
Train
8 minutes of daily drills build lasting speed. Comprehension included.
§ 02The training
Three drills, eight minutes a day. They run on the same articles you paste into the reader.
Drill 01 · RSVP
2:30Words flash one at a time at a target pace. The optimal recognition point is highlighted in orange — the letter your eye fixates fastest. Subvocalization can't keep up. With practice, its grip loosens.
Drill 02 · Meta-guide
3:00A pacer underlines three-word chunks at a steady tempo. Your eye learns to keep moving forward. Regressions drop. Comprehension stays.
Drill 03 · Saccade
1:30Quick jumps between fixation points train peripheral letter recognition. You start taking in chunks instead of words.
All three drills run on your own articles — anything you paste.

Where most adults read. The number you finished school at — and the one you've kept since.
The practical ceiling sustained training reaches with comprehension intact — the honest number, per the research we cite.
How long your eye pauses on each chunk. Train the size of the chunk, not the length of the pause.
Skilled readers take in two to three words per glance — eye-tracking's perceptual span. Untrained readers usually capture one.
Numbers above reflect ranges established by decades of eye-tracking research. Not every technique works for every reader — your training plan picks the ones that move your number.

§ 05Questions
Both, depending on what you mean. Marketing-grade "1,000 wpm with 100% comprehension" claims don't hold up. But systematically training subvocalization, regression, and fixation span — backed by real eye-tracking research — reliably moves readers up from the ~238 wpm adult average toward the research ceiling: roughly 400–500 wpm with comprehension intact. That's what we train for.
If you push too hard, yes. That's why every session ends with a comprehension check — your target speed throttles back automatically if accuracy drops below 80%. Speed without understanding is just scrolling.
Yes. Paste any article or text and the pacer will guide you through it — that works on Free, unlimited. Pro adds file uploads (EPUB, PDF, DOCX), Listen mode with AI voices, and the full training drill library.
The first techniques — pacing and cutting regressions — usually show up in your numbers within the first couple of weeks. The durable gains come over weeks 3–8 as your plan calibrates to you. Every session measures both speed and comprehension, so you watch it happen.
Web app — works on any device with a browser, including mobile. A Chrome extension and native apps are on the roadmap.
Two reasons. One: training works only if you keep showing up, so we built it to charge less than a coffee. Two: we don't sell ads or your reading data. The subscription is the business.
